if you want to now why the dodgers are so bad, just add up all the at-bats given to players like punto, schumaker, cruz, sellers, hairston, and dee gordon and marvel at the insane volume of incredibly bad production. infield depth has been the team's biggest problem from day one.

then look at all the innings given to pitchers who haven't performed like beckett, magill, lilly, and league. it doesn't matter how many stars you have if the rest of the team isn't even replacement level - it will more than cancel out all the positive contributions from the top of the roster.
